Im here after upgrading my eris to this TB.

i still use it and flash all the latest GSB builds.

only thing i can say is how hard the screen on the eris is to see after getting used to the TB.

it is also laughably small in comparison.
[Thunderbolt General] iflip:
Droid Eris was my first android phone. And my second Verizon phone coming from bb storm1. It made a really good impression on me about android. When I discovered that htc's ui was a shell i started to pay attention to other android devices. I'm not totally a fan of vanilla or aosp. Eris made a believer outta me. I upgraded to incredible last year incredible now a thunderbolt through my moms upgrade. It was too complicated for her so I gladly took or off he hands. I'm infatuated with this big clunky ass phone. I never thought I'd go any bigger on phones but it makes sense to me now due to its multimedia capability. Glad to have made this move.

Oh and I remember Tazzpatriot before I made the switch to incredible. I was a fan of his froyo builds. And that's an accomplishment because I preferred sense. I got rid of my Eris before I could try out his gb builds. Welcome aboard the good ship thunderbolt mate. Looking forward to rooting and flashing your stuff in the near future.

Has anyone had success with the LDC Density app? My friend used it on his galaxy s it was pretty cool

I tried it and my phone just froze. Had to do a battery pull to fix it.

Yes, im rooted.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] nosympathy:
this has been answered multiple times in a few thread.

maybe if you tried searching you'd have an answer.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] skinswin:
Froze on my rooted TB with Adrynalyne's Rom. Curious to see if anyone has this working.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Chris Hansen:
Didn't work for me either. Just manually edited /system/build.prop to change it around. Messes with the look of the Sense Clock Widget, and certain skins for the SenseUI.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ddarvish:
where in the build.prop do you edit the file?

nm found the line. it was obvious enough
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] scottricketts:
FWIW 190 has been a good number for me. I was at 200 for awhile, set it at 190 today and it runs pretty well.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Chris Hansen:
So I take it you aren't running Sense then? Because anything lower than 240 messed up the flip clock and some of the themes bar at the bottom.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] khanam:
I am sure I am not alone when I say this but does anybody know why the fonts on the screen are so massive? Was this phone originally intended for people with failing vision?

Why, with such a lot of real estate, doesn't htc squeeze in more info into the screen so that we lessen scrolling? Beats the hell out of me.... Its irritating to say the least. The net effect is that I have a bigger phone than the inc but I have exactly the same amount of info on the screen. I really do not see the point...

Rant over - now how do we lower font size and line spacing without messing everything up. Any easy fixes? In the uber z rom for the inc, gmichaelow made a zip that changed font sizes and line spacing to much lower levels without messing anything up. So its possible. LCD density is definitely not the answer.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Chris Hansen:
I thought the exact same thing, my Droid has a higher resolution than the Thunderbolt (480x854 for OG Droid vs. 480x800 for Thunderbolt). Everything was blown up like crazy. I don't understand why they wouldn't have gone higher for a crisper look to rival the sleek look of the iPhone. There should be font packs out there, but I'm not sure where yet. Lowering my density to 190 definitely looks a lot better for everything but the notification bar icons. I'm going to look into smaller fonts as well, but for now, I'm happy with the lowered density, as it also makes things on screen look more crisp.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] WormDoes:
I've heard people talk about this in the past, but never fully understood what it did? Any explanation of what this actually does is appreciated. Thanks in advance
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Chris Hansen:
Just look at my picture compared to the stock setup. Mine is much crisper and smaller. It's like upping the resolution basically.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] khanam:
Thanks. Will try this. Hopefully it does not mess any widgets.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] khanam:
Lcd density just hangs on my phone. I'm running storm. Anybody else manage to get it working on that rom?

Sent from my thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Chopes:
Does anyone have themes out for specific lowered densities? I have found that when I lower the density, the bottom dock (Where the phone, app tray and personalize button are) looks disconnected and not very nice. Only thing holding me back.

Is there a way to keep with the stock launcher and theme it so it fits or would I be forced to switch to another launcher to alleviate that problem?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] trixxstyles:
going to give this a try and see how it goees
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] MYxdaUSERNAME:
i tried 225, 220, 210 and would rather just leave it at stock 240 than have blurry status bar icons...that drives me nuts and makes the phone look like ****..the rest of the screen looked perfect at 225 for me tho..
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] thesilverhawk:
I run at 190. I used to run at 140 on my dinc. I hate big resolutions. I don't use the sense launcher so I don't have aproblem with it getting messed up
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gimpeh:
Even manually editing the build prop (CHMOD 777) I'm unable to get the changes to take effect. Any advice?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Use root explorer, find build.prop, open it in a text editor, change the line that says LCD density. Save and exit, reboot. Done.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gimpeh:
Yeah thats what I meant by manually changing the build prop.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dalrym05:
Rot tools worked fine for me. LCD densuty at 210 didn't freeze or anything. Wouldn't work on gingerbread though.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gimpeh:
Ah that may explain it. I am on a gingerbread build. Anyone successfully get LCD density set up on a GB build?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gimpeh:
Fixed Permissions...BOOM! Now works!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Jaxidian:
I run 200 on gingersense roms just fine. Don't like 190, though. I use Droid X Overclock to tweak it just fine. :)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] chocoyo00:
what number are you running?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FAMBOLUGA:
If your using the app and settings aren't being applied you need to wipe cache. I use the app to make changes then reboot to recovery and wipe cache. That being said sense doesn't rescale well last I checked, ymmv
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gimpeh:
200 seems to be perfect for me.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] pokedroid:
I can also confirm that this app worked for me at 190 and 180 AFTER a permission fix. never worked before on any ROM i tried (at least five, including cm7 and two GB leak Roms). works perfectly now on CM7 though after fixing permissions. Haven't done a lot of testing though, just tried it to see what happens. If i have any issues i'll report back but the permission fix seems to be the remedy :) glad I get to spread this baby out a bit. way to much room for it to feel that cramped!

edit: keyboard is borked on anything lower than 189 on my device.. not sure if another method will fix it (CM7 pre-alpha build)

edit (derp): forgot i was using swiftkey x beta.. standard GB keyboard works fine!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] pokedroid:
SO, this doesn't seem to work with the gingervitis rom. No matter what I set it at it just freezes. Does anyone know how to fix?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
If you liked 192 on Droid where it was a clean resize and menus didn't cut off use 176. It looks nice and clear.
[G Tablet General] therent:
Hi all. My wife and i ordered two of the g tablets yesterday, and ive been reading the forums here since then. Im familiar with cwm, backups and flashing roms via my Fascinate.

Ive read through alot of the posts and watched a few of ehunyadi's videos on loading clockwork and roms, which are very informative. Im thinking of going with vegan 5.1 but before i load ill be making sure to check the firmware, if im running 1.1-3588 i should be good to go according to the woot purchasers post here.

Before i load any roms, should i repartition my internal sdcard?

Any other recommendations to prep my new tab when it arrives are appreciated.

thanks in advance !!!

UPDATE (14th June 2011):

We are now over the 10,000 mark.​

I have now spoken with Motorola and gotten confirmation that Motorola plan to unlock every device that will get an update in the second half of this year. This will include maintenance & firmware updates, but is still subject to Carrier approval.

The promising sign is that Verizon has already allowed Motorola to unlock a device on their network, the Xoom, which utilizes the unlockable/re-lockable model that Motorola intends on using across their devices.

I'm still looking to work with Motorola in the coming months to help see if we can make this a smooth process for Motorola and the community.

You can read the article here:

http://ausdroid.net/2011/06/14/an-u...witter&utm_campaign=Feed:+ausdroid+(Ausdroid)

Please share this where you can and keep it alive. I will continue to work with Motorola to see if we can get this thing torn wide open.

UPDATE (26th April 2011):

We are now at ~8,700 mark.​

Motorola has now responded to me, stating that they are looking at unlocking bootloaders across their devices late 2011.

The article for the story can be found here:

http://ausdroid.net/2011/04/26/the-little-aussie-taking-on-motorola-u-s/#more-8184

We're still seeking clarity around whether this will be for current devices or only future devices.

I couldn't have gotten this far without the support of everyone here. You guys and girls have been a huge support and help me turn this snowball into a wrecking ball.

Please share this where you can and keep it alive. I will continue to work with Motorola to see if we can get this thing torn wide open.

Previous Update (4th April 2011):

We are now at ~7600 mark.​

We're starting to slow down from our initial boom, so I have now set up a Facebook page to see if we can wrangle in some supporters that don't use Twitter or XDA.

I will need your help getting this out there. So share the facebook page where you can.

I'm also looking to see if anyone is interested in helping me Moderate the page. Please PM if you are.

Hi All,

I have created a Groubal (online petition) to get a response from Motorola on it's bootloader policy.

>>This petition started for the Atrix, but I made sure that it was for Motorola's overall Bootloader Policy. I have reached 200 signatures in 2 weeks, but now believe it's time to expand this out of the Atrix space and into the larger Motorola Dev community.

[Defy General] ketonkss4:
Not to kill the cause... but the issue isnt really with motorola... Isnt it with the service providers who would rather have the bootloaders on the phones locked so they can sell us services we could install for free... ie Wi-fi Calling, Tethering..

I think Motorola's hands are tied.. their customers are the service providers.

Would it make more sense to harass t-mobile and the likes over this?
[Defy General] Sir Flashalot:
Signed as well.
[Defy General] ikenley:
On all phones that have locked and encrypted bootloaders, I don't think there's been one that couldn't be rooted. Once rooted, you have access to all the Tethering and WiFi Calling apps out there. So it could be the case, but all unlocking the bootloader does is let you use custom kernels that form the base of alternative roms. So bloatware be damned, it can removed fairly quickly and without even touching the bootloader.

It would be more for warranty claims, that's why the padlock picture on the very first screen's the way to go. That way if a phone is damaged due to modification, the carrier/manufacturer can turn you away due to voided warranty.
[Defy General] andy j:
signed the partition to

i am looking into the legal side of the locked bootloader to see if theirs any loop holes in locking a phone when the manufacture is part of the open handset alliance

but i think the fastest way of the bootloader being unencrypted is to put up a cash reward for the person that unlocks it.

maybe if we can raise £1000 it might spur someone on to go the extra mile
[Defy General] Step666:
So why is my unlocked/un-branded Defy that is in no way tied to any network also cursed with a locked bootloader?

And if the networks are demanding it, how come not every manufacturer is crippling their handsets in this way?

This is a decision Motorola have made, no-one else.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
So I haven't seen my specific question asked anywhere so I'll just ask away. I know there is a way to organize my ringtones and notifications on the SD card so android will see them. This way I don't have to worry about doing anything different between roms. For Sense roms how should I file the ringtones/notifications on the SD card so the android system will see them? Is the file structure the same for AOSP roms. Does this question even make sense?!?!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalanonymity:
Mine are just in a folder entitled "Ringtones" on the SD card. I've flashed both Sense and AOSP and both have recognized the ringtone with no problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
create a folder on the sd card root, name it 'ringtones' and put your ringtones inside. The ringtone picker should be able to pick them up.

Is 2.3.20 the latest system version for the D2? If its not is it worth upgrading and re-rooting?

You can't upgrade until motorola decides to OTA, which you won't receive if you're rooted.

[Droid 2 General] FillTheVoid:
Supposing that happened...I would have to un-root to get it. Then would re-rooting from a new system version be possible? Or would we have to wait for a new root to come out.

yeah, P3Droid, the first person to report on this, said the D2G and DX might be seeing updates, he said that moto considers the D2 to the "red headed step-child" or something like that and wont be seeing updates, he is a very reputable person and isnt like nenelod who was trolling us, when he says it, its probably true
[Droid 2 General] FillTheVoid:
That's just depressing. I just got my D2 and opted for instead of D2G thinking it would have some more love. Guess I should have done more research. At least we have some good Devs. I helped my friend root his Devour and they are really hurting for ROMs.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link00seven:
Hello all,

I currently am running Myn's WarmTwoPointTwo RLS5 (but tried Fresh 3.5.0.1 as well) and am having problems with very slow wireless tethering on 4G. If I run a speed test on my tethered laptop, I will be lucky to hit 1Mbps. However, on the phone (even if tethering is turned on) a speed test will yield about 5-6Mbps. For some reason it's as if the tethering speed is being throttled down to 3G speeds even though I'm connected to 4G.

I've tried various versions of the Wireless Tether app, and even the "fix" (deleted the fixroute.sh file) and still no luck. Other people are also reporting this problem here - EVO slow tether - Android Forums

I was just hoping perhaps someone could shed some light on this issue.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Before today, I was one of those people who used the Wireless Tether app often. I had awful DSL internet service and tethering wireless via 4G was a GODsend. The speeds I were getting was comparable to typical 4G speeds. I posted a speedtest a while back in the Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 thread, if I'm not mistaken. I may try searching for it a little later. Anyway, I cannot explain why you're tethering very slowly. That has never been my experience. Without offending you, are you basing those slow speeds ONLY on speedtest results? If so, please keep in mind that those tests are, in my opinion, inconclusive. Are the tethering speeds you're experiencing satisfying to your real life surfing needs? If they are, disregard speedtest results and enjoy the fact that you can tether multiple devices for FREE.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link00seven:
None taken mate - to be honest I probably haven't really used it enough just yet to say one way or another. In Metro Detroit, one of the first 4G towers just went online at Wayne State University, where I happen to go to school. So the last couple days I've been using it and today tried tethering to my laptop for the first time. I did use a couple different speed test applications, and found that on the phone I could consistently get 4-6Mbps, whereas on my computer the speed test was averaging closer to 1Mbps. Significantly slower, so I did a little research on it and found that others were also having the same issue (hence the thread I linked in my first post). I'd test it more, but at home I don't have 4G access, just at school.

However, the little bit of basic surfing that I did seemed fine, and perhaps even if for whatever reason I'm not getting the speeds advertised, it still was very much usable. I did not mean to sound ungrateful by any means and am just thrilled to see a sign of 4G around here. Tethering isn't even something I would probably be doing all that often, as WSU has wifi everywhere, and my internet at home is quite solid.

I only posted to see if anyone on here had similar issues and if there was a solution, and to perhaps help others that may also be having issues with 4G wireless tethering.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conductive:
For some reaason I never liked wireless and have been using usb. I might have an issue with my laptp but can not be sure. I like CM7 GB it seems to switch between 3G and 4G where the other roms did not, Do any of the thether aps 2 google code work any differently?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I completely understand and thank you for the reply, sir...:)...Enjoy your day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I understand and if tethering via USB is more comfortable for you than tethering wirelessly, so be it. It's your prerogative.

Every rom that I've used that allows me to use the 4G function have all automatically switched back & forth between 3G & 4G depending on the strength of the 4G signal or your location in regard to a 4G area. That is normal and the app is irrelevant. I hope I didn't misunderstand your post....;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link00seven:
Thanks, you too.

I haven't tried USB tethering with 4G yet, but one of the main draws for wireless tethering for me would be so I could use it on my iPad, as I only have the wifi iPad.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
It will indeed work, my friend. I've tether my MacBook and y daughter's iPhone4 in addition to the other wireless device in the house and they all performed without a hitch. Now that I have my Roadrunner service, I doubt I'll use it as much....Take care and enjoy your day...:)
